About Us

Welcome at Mariages à Bras Ouverts

Congratulations for your civil wedding plans!

I am Michel Boulanger, president of the Ministère à Bras Ouverts.

Our team of world class wedding officiants authorized by le Directeur de l'état civil du Québec is available to celebrate your civil wedding with a ritual that you, your family and friends will keep in your heart forever.

Every aspect of it, the symbolism, readings, music should be a reflection of yourself and the relationship you share.

We have married hundreds of couples throughout Quebec and we are proud of our commitment with the newlyweds at this special day.

Private wedding or royal wedding, we're here for you with an unique ceremony at the place and day of your choice, whatever your beliefs and orientations are. Your ceremony may be in French, English, Spanish or Khmer.

We also offer the possibility of divorced couples to get married in a church.

Our philosophy

When two lips come together, they emit one sound. Even though we have two eyes, our vision is one. Even when there are two lamps, light is one. Similarly, even though a husband and wife are two, they should live as one. The unity of hearts is the beauty of their house and the stability and foundation of the entire family. As neither the wife nor the husband has realized their completeness, their marriage should be a relationship wherein each partner compensates for the other’s shortcomings—not one where they point them out and blame each other. Where there is true love, the attitude of sacrifice will automatically be there. True sacrifice is relinquishing one’s likes and dislikes for another person. This should be the spirit behind each marriage.

Our Mission

Our team of professionals and skilled celebrants creates wedding ceremonies customized and adapted to all beliefs and traditions and celebrates with joy at the location of your choice since the early 2000s with love and respect.

We are join hands, hearts and families.

Your choice of celebrant is a very personal thing, beyond the fact that you want him to be organized and able to support you in your approach, you expect to complicity and that's what we offer.

Our celebrants are dedicated to making your wedding special and never miss class or originality. Your personal choices are our priority, and your solemn ceremony that all can be as creative and fun.

Today, the difference is all around us and we think it is a good reason to celebrate.

These relationships can be between a man and a woman, or between same sex.

There are several lamps, but only one light.

Our community is large and open. The Ministère à Bras Ouverts celebrate the marriage.

Of divorced individuals and couples of different religions.

There is no harm in having many religions and faiths, but it is harmful to think that they are different and that one faith is higher and the other one is lower. Children, do not see the differences. See the unity in them and the great ideals that they teach." – Amma.

Meaningful Wedding

What a great vocation to create a holy temple anywhere love is présent, to consecrate and seal this love! By the ceremony we give to the couple the power to seize the opportunity to unite not just their hearts, their lives and their families, but to unite their very beings.

In the words of Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway All wedding ceremonies have a rhythm, and a life, of their own. The energy comes alive as the bride makes her walk to the altar and builds like a symphony with each segment. By the time vows are exchange, it is as if the heavens open to rain love upon the gathering. Couples can seize the opportunity to unite not just their hearts, lives and families, but to unite their very beings.

By the time vows are exchanged, it is as if the heavens open to rain love upon the gathering. Couples can seize the opportunity to unite not just their hearts, lives and families, but to unite their very beings.

There are several features that cross cultural and religious boundaries that are widely integrated into modern mariages.

Testimonials

"From the first meeting to the ceremony proper it was a pleasure! Thank you for making our service truly memorable. We loved how personal you made it and with the candle lighting ceremony and wine box/wine. A lot of our friends/family mentioned how perfect it was. And bilingual too!
So thanks again for everything! It was everything we hoped for and more!!!"

"The service we had on the day of our wedding was amazing and so powerful . Very highly recommended . Every one had a great time and enjoyed the day and kept talking about Michel and how great he was . Since we were partially Hindu and he did a mix of English and prayers in Indian made it feel so spiritual and strong."

"Reverend Michel was highly recommended by our 5 star hotel and they were right. He was very on top of communicating with us, helped us a great deal with the paperwork, in fact he did it all, and he was early for the ceremony and made us both relax through the whole event.The words he chose were perfect for us and we intend to ask him to renew our vows in five years. Obviously we were very happy."

"Thank you so much for leading our marriage celebration! We loved every part of it as it was so spiritual and adapted to our personalities and wishes. We thank you for your flexibility, enthusiasm and suggestions in creating our ceremony. We, and all our family and friends really appreciated it."

We will gladly recommend you to anybody who is interested in having a ceremony at their wedding in the future. We wish you all the best and look forward to keeping in touch."

"We are so pleased with our choice in Michel as our wedding officiant. He was very kind, thoughtful, and responsive throughout the planning process. He tailored our ceremony to be very personal and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. We had a very intimate, non-religious ceremony. He even spoke some Italian throughout the ceremony for our grandparents. Our wedding guests are still talking about how beautiful the ceremony was! Merci Beaucoup!"
